Highlights
|
Valassis Employees' Retirement Savings Plan is a 401(k) plan with a
profit sharing component. The plan was established to provide eligible
Valassis associates a way to save additional income for retirement.
Eligible participants can contribute to the plan on a "pre-tax"
or "post-tax" basis. Also, eligible participants can share
in an annual profit sharing contribution made by the company.
All contributions made to the plan on your behalf will be placed in
an individual account in your name at JPMorgan Retirement Plan Services.
Employees are expected to take an active role in investing these funds
in a variety of investment vehicles available through the plan. Your
account balance will be dependent on the amount of the contributions
made to your account and your chosen funds' investment performance.
Profit Sharing Component: Valassis Profit Sharing allows "eligible"
Valassis associates to accumulate savings for their retirement by sharing
in the Company's profits. Depending on Valassis' performance in a given
plan year, "eligible" Valassis associates may receive a certain
percentage of their annual base salary from the company as a discretionary
profit sharing contribution. Associates can invest those retirement
dollars among a number of different investment options, including core
funds, age-based retirement funds, company stock, and a self-directed
brokerage option.
